You got to be big-time.

DJ Envy, Angela Yee, and Charlamagne Tha God. The Breakfast Club, bitches. Break the f*** out. Good morning, USA. Yes, it's Tuesday. What's happening out there? Oh, man. I'm blessed black. I'm highly favored. The wheel is finally here. The UFOs have come.

Okay. It's a great day. I told y'all this a couple weeks ago. Didn't I just say a couple weeks ago I can't wait till the wheel come? And now, look, we're here. It's a couple weeks later. What are you talking about? Ready?

Nope. Oh, you didn't see the footage yesterday from the UFOs? Which I actually saw about, which I actually saw about which actually saw about. Let me see. Maybe a couple of months ago when I was on Capitol Hill for some business and I was talking to somebody and they told me, if I tell you if I tell I looked it up, and they said that footage right there has been declassified. So that footage has been circulating for a while. But I don't know why it came out yesterday in the news the way that it did. But it's footage of some, I think it's some Navy pilots. I know some pilots, and they catch some UFO.

They catch this unidentified flying object flying around their jets, and they don't exactly know what it is, but they have confirmed that that is indeed an unidentified flying object. Wow. Yes. Okay. What does that mean? Does that mean we're in trouble?

Does that mean they're coming to help us? What does that mean? We don't know. I don't know. I don't know. You don't know that until they pull up. Okay. You know what I'm saying? You'll never know until they pull up.

Friend of four, yo, state your biz. Okay. You don't know. But what you going to do? Me? When they pull up, what can you do? Exactly. You don't know.

I don't know. I don't know. All right. I'm just happy you're here. Last night, I'm tired. Last night, me and Clue. Clue used to have, DJ Clue used to have this iconic show. I call't know. I don't know. All right. I'm just happy you're here. Last night, I'm tired. Last night, me and Clue. Clue used to have, DJ Clue used to have this iconic show. I call it iconic. It was called Monday Night Mixtape.

You used to do every Monday night, and your favorite artists used to come through, freestyle, used to play all types of exclusives. So we brought it back last night on IG Live. So we did it last night from 10 p.m. to midnight. And it was just a lot of fun. We played a lot of exclusives. So many different people called, sent in records. It felt like the old days where people cared about

how they released records, not just releasing online. So it was pretty dope. We had a lot of people checking in. Can't wait to, we got a lot more in store for Monday Night Mixtape. So shout out to DJ Clue. So I'm tired. I didn't get to sleep until 1am, 1.30am. Legendary DJ Clue. I heard, I think yesterday,

I saw something DJ Drama posted. DJ Drama said that he would watch DJ Clue in I heard, I think yesterday, I saw something DJ Drama posted. DJ Drama said that he would wash DJ Clue in a mixtape battle. He didn't say he would wash. He said he wants all the smoke, though. He definitely said he wants the smoke. No, I thought the word was washed. Did he use wash, Drama?

He didn't say wash, but he said nobody can touch his catalog. And I even said Clue. He said nobody can touch his catalog. That would be a great battle. I would love to see said nobody can touch his catalog. That would be a great battle. I would love to see that. That's very interesting. It would be a great battle because a lot of

this generation who spends a lot of time on social media definitely grew up on Gangsta Girls more than they grew up on DJ Clue. That would be a good battle. It's two generations of artists. Of course, with Clue, you have

Rockefeller, you have Jadakiss the Lox, you have your Hoves, you have your Maces, your DMXs, you have all those artists, Fabuluses, and Clue has numerous platinum albums. But then Drama got Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, you know, T.I.

You know what I'm saying? Like, it would be something. You got to remember how big Trapper Dye was in the street. Mixtape. Remember how big Clue's tapes was in the streets? No, I don't actually. Clue's tapes was huge in the streets. I mean, I do remember how big Clue's tapes was,

but I'm just talking about, like, you know, using the club.. Clues tapes was huge. I mean, I do. I mean, I do. I do remember how big Clues tapes was, but I'm just talking about like, you know, using the club. Just to remind people like you. Using the club. And you heard, when you heard Jeezy, Trap or Die,

like there was stuff coming off dramas, mixtapes that became like smash singles. Even though I, listen, Clues the guy. I don't care what nobody say.

I love DJ Clues mixtapes. Clues. It would be, it would be, it would be very interesting. I feel like it's kind of hard to compare the two of them. Maya Jay-Z,

Rough Riders, Part 2. My dog's cool. I just feel like, I don't know, I'm trying to compare the two of them Maya Jay-Z, Rough Riders Part 2 My dog's cool Mary Jadakiss It would be a great one It would definitely be a great one It would come down to a generational thing though It definitely would People our age have seen both

You know what I'm saying? People younger than us have not experienced both. They experienced one. You know? Right. Yeah. But it would be great. Yeah, it would be great.

I would love to see that. But let's get the show cracking. Front page news, what are we talking about? Well, we'll talk about the NFL, what they're considering for the 2020 season, what that might potentially look like. Also, the NBA, we told you about them reopening practice facilities but the players association hadn't agreed to that so we'll tell you what might be the new plan all right we'll get into that next keep it locked it's the breakfast club good morning morning everybody it's

dj envy angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club let's get in some front page news where we starting well let's start with the NFL. What they are planning and what they're thinking about is a different version of the NFL this season, with the regular season starting as late as October 15th. No bye weeks, no Pro Bowl, and then that would include a Super Bowl on February 28th in Tampa. So that might be the new plan. Usually the season starts the weekend after Labor Day, which would have been September 10th, and then the season would have ended January 3rd, but now they're saying, and the Super Bowl February 7th,

but they're saying that might be the new plan, potentially. So they're not even thinking about holding back the NFL, huh? They going full steam ahead? That's what it seems like. All right, now with the NBA, we had told you they were planning to start reopening practice facilities and that

was going to happen in certain states that were lifting their lockdown restrictions. Well, apparently they want to delay that, okay? According to the NBA Players Association, they want to wait another week. So even though they wanted to say starting this week as these restrictions are being loosened up,

the players union is saying that's not going to happen right now. They want to wait until at least May 8th, following unease from some teams and from some players regarding a potentially premature return. According to multiple reports, like a state like Georgia, they've lifted their lockdown. The Atlanta Hawks are not willing to host player workouts just yet.

So there'll be a lot of precautions in place. I wonder why they're not willing to host the player workouts. Because there's too much people other than the team? The actual team? Maybe that's it. You have to be in the facility at once? Right. They just don't feel so safe yet.

They want to give it a little bit more time. Maybe they're going to wait to see what's happening in Georgia with these restrictions being lifted, you know, and if the players don't feel safe, then obviously they shouldn't do that. It's voluntary anyway, but let's just, you know, let's not rush into it. So they're saying next week, they're going to wait and see. All right. Well, May 8th. Now JetBlue has become the first U.S. airline to make flyers wear face masks. They're requiring passengers to wear a face mask or other face coverings beginning May 4th. And that is the first airline that's doing that. I saw some footage of an American Airlines flight that looked pretty full and people didn't really have on face coverings. It wasn't required. So according to other statements, they're saying

that a lot of airlines should follow JetBlue's lead, including their efforts to fully communicate the change before it becomes effective next week. So flight attendants aren't in the position of being enforcers without information and backing from the airline. Oh, I've been had that been had that plan in mind. I got face masks for the kids. I got face masks for the kids and everything. Because, you know, I used to go to the airport back in the day and used to see like a lot of Asian people with face masks on. And you'd be like, what do they know that we don't know? Well, I think we know now what it is that they know

that we didn't know. So I'm following their lead. I'm definitely face masked up at the airport, on the airplanes, everything. Absolutely. I've been said that to myself, too. I mean, it's a wrap. I'm going to move.

The way I move is going to be totally different. I'm going to face mask everything out, and not just coverings. I'm face mask, face mask. That's right. I'm going to move like the Asians and not just coverings. I'm face mask, face mask. That's right. I'm going to move like the Asians and Michael Jackson been moving baby. Face mask and gloves. We out here starting something.

Alright, well I'm Angela Yee and that is your Front Page News. Alright, thank you Miss Yee. Now when we come back, get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you're upset, you need to vent, hit us up again. 800-585-1051. And I just want to say need to vent, hit us up again. 800-585-1051. And I just want to say, be careful with those face masks.

There was a driver in Jersey that wore the face mask all day while he was driving, and it cut off his oxygen because he was, you know, you breathe out carbon monoxide, and there was no oxygen coming in, and he passed out and crashed for having the face mask on all day. His breath must have been terrible. He must have been driving and been shocked because he finally smelled his breath for the first time and that just threw him for a loop.

Lord have mercy. I don't know about that. What kind of mask did he have on that was so tight he cut his oxygen off? I don't know, but he passed out. So just be careful out there with them face masks. At what point don't you realize you're not breathing? Are you not getting enough air?

Shouldn't you know that at some point? I think with carbon monoxide, though, you can't really tell. That's why it's so dangerous. Well, you know, with those masks, sometimes it's hard breathing with those masks anyway, sometimes, to me anyway. Like, those masks, it's not the easiest to breathe in, especially if you got those N95 masks. But that's my point.

You can feel it, right? I could. I guess he didn't. Passed out. But get it off your chest. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club.

Is your country falling apart? Feeling tired? Depressed? A little bit revolutionary? Consider this. Start your own country. I planted the flag. I just kind of looked out of like, this is mine.

I own this. It's surprisingly easy. There's 55 gallons of water for 500 pounds of concrete. Everybody's doing it. I am King Ernest Emmanuel. I am the Queen of Ladonia. I'm Jackson I, King of Capraburg. I am the Supreme Leader of the Grand Republic of Mentonia.

Be part of a great colonial tradition. Why can't I create my own country? My forefathers did that themselves. What could go wrong? No country willingly gives up their territory. I was making a rocket with a black powder, you know, with explosive warhead. Oh my God. What is that? Bullets.

Bullets. We need help! We still have the off-road portion to go. Listen to Escape from Zakistan. And we're losing daylight fast. That's Escape from Z-A-Q-istan on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever entrepreneurs, and more. After those runs, the conversations keep going. That's what my podcast, Post Run High, is all about. It's a chance to sit down with my guests and dive even deeper into their stories,

their journeys, and the thoughts that arise once we've hit the pavement together. You know that rush of endorphins you feel after a great workout? Well, that's when the real magic happens. So if you love hearing real, inspiring stories from the people you know, follow, and admire, join me every week for Post Run High. It's where we take the conversation beyond the run and get into the heart of it all. It's lighthearted, pretty crazy, and very fun.

Listen to Post Run High on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. As a kid, I really do remember having these dreams and visions, but you just don't know what is going to come for you. Alicia Keys opens up about conquering doubt, learning to trust herself and leaning into her dreams. I think a lot of times we are built to doubt the possibilities for ourselves. For self-preservation and protection, it was literally that step by step. And so I discovered that that is how we get where we're going.

This increment of small, determined moments. Alicia shares her wisdom on growth, gratitude, and the power of love. I forgive myself. It's okay. Like grace. Have grace with yourself. You're trying your best. And you're going to figure out the rhythm of this thing.

Alicia Keys, like you've never heard her before. Listen to On Purpose with Jay Shetty on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is your time to get it off your chest, whether you're mad or blessed. So you better have the same energy. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? What up, though? This is Lee from Detroit.

What up, though? Get it off your chest, bro. What's happening, Lee? We need hazard pay, man. Every time I turn on the news, we hear about all the private sector dogs get their hazard pay, get their bonuses. We ain't here like business as usual, dog. Wow. Yeah, I totally agree. I don't understand why the post office is not getting any type of hazard pay.

I saw something yesterday where the cruise ships got a bailout and the post office didn't. I mean, what the hell? In what world do cruise ships matter more than the post office? I agree with you on that because people want to get their mail and you guys are still going to work, still working hard. So, I agree. I'm trying to figure out how they're spending this money, though. Like, they spend money to the Lakers? I'm a custodian. I'm trying to figure out how they spending this money, though. Like, they spending money to the Lakers? I'm a custodian.

I'm essential to the essential. I'm building clean for them to come to work, and I'm going home to my family every day with nothing extra. Like, this is ridiculous. Absolutely. You're right. Absolutely. Y'all around people all the time. Y'all around people all the time, and y'all got to keep the building super

sanitary at all times, but especially right now at a time like this, y'all are absolutely essential the time, and y'all got to keep the building super sanitary at all times, but especially right now at a time like this, y'all are absolutely essential workers. But thank you for checking in, bro. Did I hear something they gave the Lakers a bunch of millions of dollars, and the Lakers gave it back? Well, they have to return the money. That was from the small business program. But how are they getting that? Like, there's a lot of business out there that's really losing.

Because the small business is 300 employees or less. And so because they did qualify for that, they did apply for it, but they don't really need it as much money as they make. So they are returning that money, but, you know, that shouldn't have been. They still applied for it, though? Yeah, why would they even apply for it? That don't even sound right. The Los Angeles Lakers applying for a small business

administration's paycheck protection program loan. What the hell? Yeah, it was $4.6 million and you know, they, I think, well you know what I think happens? I think that companies that know how to apply for these things and know all the things that they can get,

they apply for them. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you need it. And so that's what's not really fair because people that really need it for the small businesses who it's supposed to be for, there were companies like Shake Shack, Ruth Chris, Potbelly Sandwich Shop, they also applied and got funding. And they did return their funding

because people... They shouldn't have even applied. Yeah, they shouldn't have. It's not fair. Yeah, and it's not, you know, I hope all of these companies are still paying their employees because that's what the paycheck, that's what the PPP is for. It's for to keep your employees employed

so you don't have to furlough so you don't have to fire them. Yeah, because if you don't, you have to return the money because it is a loan and then it's a forgivable loan as long as you keep, I think it's like 80%

or something like that of everybody still on payroll. All right. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. If you need to vent, hit us up now. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. I'm telling. I'm telling. Hey, what you doing, man? I'm telling. I'm calling. I'm calling, yo. This is your time to get it off your chest.

Whether you're mad or blessed. 800-585-1051. We want to hear from you on The Breakfast Club. Hello, who's this? This is Todd. Todd, what up? Get it off your chest. Yo, the U.S. economy is heavily supporting the U.S. dollar, which is the strongest currency on the planet Earth.

And we need the U.S. dollar to stay strong in order for all the services to be paid for in this country that the federal government pays for to give us the quality of life that we have. So the cold, very unfortunate reality is that the economy has to be opening up at a higher rate than what it is now in order for people to live well and eat and survive at the long extended period that we want them to live at. The virus is killing a lot of people, but if this economy doesn't get back up and moving, there's going to be a whole lot more people dead over an extended period of time. And that's just the cold facts, brothers and Angela. Why are you telling us something we already know? Because the public doesn't get it, man.

The public sees $2 trillion, and some of them know that we need to get about $5.5 trillion in there, but they don't understand the rotation of the money. And the money has to rotate back into the coffers of the federal government in order to get everybody up and moving. Those are the cold, unfortunate facts, and we should be talking about them more, although people will die. I'm pretty sure everybody understands that, sir. I'm not convinced that that's the case, Charlamagne. If you would like to use your 10 million listeners to do a poll, you will find out that many of them do not think that's the case.

They're more scared of dying than they are of dying at a long period of time because the economy flops. Yeah, I think that, you know, poverty and a lot of civil unrest will happen if the economy doesn't open back up. Yes, a lot of people will be hurt and killed over the long run

because of that. And we've learned a hard lesson that we needed to learn over stalking the government with better numbers of infectious disease researchers, which we should have learned the better part of 50 years ago. This ain't Trump or Obama. No, no, no, no, no, no. Every president knew that.

Donald Trump fired the global pandemic team in 2016. Come on now, 2016, 2017. If we had had the appropriate number to the population of infectious disease researchers back in 1970 and increased them along the way, this would have been something that would have been caught a long time ago. I don't know anything about that, but I do know that he fired the global pandemic team in like 2016, 2017. So that says a lot too.

Well, they should have been better staffed in the first place down in the CDC and the National Institute of Health. All right. Well, thank you for calling in and giving us that information, brother. See, that's when you're supposed to say, you know what I'm saying? Because I know what he was saying. You know what I mean? Okay.

People always say, you know what I'm saying, when you don't know what they're saying. When you know it, if I know what you're saying, that's when you say, you know what I'm saying? I know what you're saying. Hello, who's this? Janay, good morning. Hey. Good morning. Get it off your chest.

First of all, I just want to let y'all know how hard it is to co-parent during this time that we're in. I can imagine. Yeah, I can imagine. My ex is dating. I just found this out just now, even though we've been going through this for two months. He's dating a nurse, and it's on the front lines. And you don't and you don't want

your kids over there not letting me I can understand that I'm asthmatic I'm asthmatic Lord have mercy his caregiver is 67 year old

cancer survivor can you never let me know this and I'm just like I can't bring it up because he's the only thing I'm trying to argue

he's not going to understand it from my point of view so I'm just frustrated today yeah that's a lot absolutely yeah to argue. He's not going to understand it from my point of view. So I'm just frustrated today. Yeah, I feel your frustration. That's a lot. Absolutely.

If I say something, then it's going to be like, oh, you're being a bitter baby mama. He's been with God knows how many women since we broke up. So I'm not being a bitter baby mama. I just don't want to be. He's just concerned about the safety of yourself, the children. Yeah, you want to be safe. But I can't say that. He's not going to understand that. Yes, you can. The woman that he's yourself, the children. Yeah, you want to be safe. But I can't say that. He's not going to understand that.

Yes, you can. The woman that he's with, the nurse should understand that. The nurse should understand that she knows. She's a mother and you're a nurse, and so you're on the front line and you're seeing what's going on. Why would you pick yourself up around other people's kids? Absolutely. Well, thank you for calling in.

Check in. Thank you. You guys have a good day. You too now. Get it off your chest. 800-585-1051. Now, we got rumors on the way? Yes.

And since people are watching so much television now, we'll talk about a new documentary that's coming out. And we'll also tell you about some big numbers for The Last Dance for episodes 3 and 4. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning.

The Breakfast Club. Yes, so as you know, Barack and Michelle Obama have a deal with Netflix. Well, Michelle Obama is putting out her Becoming documentary, and that will be on Netflix on May 6th. Listen to the trailer. How do you feel transitioning back to your normal life?

What I've learned is that get back on what track? It's a whole new track, and it's different forever. So it's not getting back on track, but it's creating my next track. I'm figuring out what do I want to do? What do I care about? And it takes time to process your life and figure out what it all means. So little of who I am happened in those eight years. So much more of who I was happened before. So it'll have some of the same stories from the book, but it also gives a look into her life since the book came out as well. I can't wait.

I'm watching. That book sold several million copies, so several million people will be watching too. All right. Also, the docuseries that we've all been watching, several million people, The Last Dance, episodes three and four drew a total of 5.9 million viewers across

the third and fourth episodes on Sunday night. So that's only slightly lower than the average 6.1 million viewers from the week before for episodes one and two. Well, if people would stop passing around that goddamn link to the episodes, then it would be higher. You know what I mean? But people can't wait and gotta watch

things bootleg instead of just waiting for Sunday night. I mean, yeah. I think people are still gonna watch it on television regardless. I'm watching it on TV. I don't wanna watch the bootleg link. Somebody hit me for the bootleg link last night and they shall remain nameless. Alright, a new show that's in development in HBO. Y'all ain't gonna

care about this, but I do. There's gonna be a Hellraiser series. Now, you guys know how much I love horror, so it's based be a Hellraiser series now you guys know how much I love horror so it's based on a Hellraiser film franchise. Pinhead right? Yep. Yep Hellraiser oh my god there was just an accident outside my house um so that series will not be a reboot but it's going to be an elevated continuation and expansion of its mythology and things like that so I'm excited and I can't wait to check that out because that's just something new for me to watch when that finally comes out. Now, YouTube is also

hosting a free virtual film festival with 20 partners. That includes Cannes Film Festival, Tribeca, Sundance. Now that all these film festivals are shutting down worldwide, YouTube is stepping in to launch that 10-day digital film festival this spring with these partners. It'll be streaming free to cinema fans everywhere. So this is called the We Are One, a global film festival and it's all being produced and organized

by New York's Tribeca Enterprises. That's exciting. And that online festival will be from May 29th to June 7th and you can watch it on YouTube and again, it's free. Okay. Will you be able to watch movies on YouTube as well? Because that's the beauty of going to these film festivals.

You get to watch some of these films. How are you going to be able to watch the film? I'm sure you'll be able to. On YouTube? Mm-hmm. Yes, on YouTube. So you'll be able to watch the films on YouTube? Yeah, you're going to watch the films.

There's no ads. It's free to watch. It's going to be shorts, documentaries, music, comedy, panel discussions, all of those things. Interesting. Okay. Yeah, so in a few weeks, we'll get to see what that full schedule is going to be like. And just to give you guys an update on what we were talking about earlier with the Paycheck Protection Program, the Los Angeles Lakers are returning that $4.6 million loan that they got from the PPP,

and a source has confirmed that. And I told you earlier, not only are they returning theirs, but Shake Shack, Ruth Chris, Potbelly Sandwich Shop, all of them are returning their funding after they got some backlash. Now, the Lakers were eligible for that loan. They do employ about 300 people, but they're also worth about $4.4 billion. And it's supposed to be for businesses that need it,

for small businesses with under 500 employees who are seeking loans. But because that program quickly ran out of funding, they had to get some more money. And a lot of these companies now, because of that backlash, realized what they did was wrong. Okay. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your Rumor Reports. All right, thank you, Miss Yee.

Now, Yee, I'm nosy. Go to the window, Make sure everybody's okay. I'm trying to hurry up because it was a huge crash outside. All right. Listen, Sandra Dean just ran out to go look because she's nosy, too. Up next, Front Page News. Wrap me up. Front Page News is next, what we're talking about.

We'll talk about Donald Trump. He is responding to people who are accusing him of being the person that's making people ingest disinfectants. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked making people ingest disinfectants. All right. We'll get into that next. Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Hey.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Let's get in some front page news. Where we starting, Yee? Well, I'll tell you this tragic story of something that happened in Manhattan. A woman who was an ER doctor. She was a top ER doctor.

She actually ended up committing suicide. She was the medical director of the New York Presbyterian Allen Hospital. She was 49 years old and she actually contracted coronavirus. And then as she was recuperating, she waited and went back to work. And then she ended up or she got sick and she waited and went back to work. And then she ended up, well, she got sick and she ended up going back to work. She had no history of mental illness. But when she last spoke to her family, she said it was excruciating to have to continually watch contagion patients die, including some even before they could be taken from the ambulance.

They said she was truly on the front line. Make sure that she is praised as a hero. She's a casualty just as much as anyone else who has died. She ended up committing suicide. Really sad and depressing story. Damn. Prayers up for her. Absolutely.

I would really want to know what she was going through psychologically. Like, what did she see that really made her say, oh, man, you know, death would be better than this. I really want to know. Yes, an ICU doctor who works in the city said that the onslaught of virus patients can be almost too much to handle for anyone at times. He said for a while,

it felt like we were standing under a waterfall and couldn't get a breath for air. Now it feels busy, but not in a way that is suffocating. I wonder if actually seeing how, because everybody talks about how tragic it is when somebody with coronavirus dies because they got to die alone. I wonder if the thought of, you know, dying alone scared her.

I don't know. All right, now let's talk about Donald Trump. He said he doesn't take any responsibility for people using disinfectants improperly, ingesting them as a cure for coronavirus, even though he was the one that originally said that that's something that could potentially be helpful. Here's what he said. They've seen a spike in people using disinfectant after your comments last week.

I know you said they were sarcastic. I can't imagine why. I can't imagine why. Yeah. Take any responsibility. No, I don't know. I can't imagine. I can't imagine. Yeah, go ahead, please. He don't care. Very, very interesting. I thought about this yesterday. Right. He's a leader. Leaders lead by actions and deeds, not words and lip service. Even though I think, you know, they should only lead by actions. If he really wanted people to drink bleach, he would take a shot in front of people. He would tell people he's drank the bleach before. His kids drank the bleach. His whole administration drinks the bleach.

If I saw him drinking bleach, okay, I'd be more prone to drink the bleach. But just because he said to do it, if I'm dumb enough to do, if I'm dumb enough to try it because Donald Trump said it, isn't that kind of a choice? How much responsibility should Trump have for that? Well, I think in a time like this, as we can see, people are under a lot of stress. They're willing to try anything, you know,

and so it's just not good to put that out there at all to be responsible for the people you're supposedly leading. Ask me. I think he's responsible, but how much responsibility should he have, Envy? 75%. 75? Okay. 75. I say 75, 80%. Absolutely.

I say 50. All right. Now, Donald Trump said he never even thought of changing the date of the upcoming presidential election, which is November 3rd, even though Joe Biden suggested that Trump would attempt a delay. He said, I never thought of changing that date. November 3rd, good number. Those were his words. But Trump can't change it anyway, though.

It would have to go through the House and some of the Senate have to vote on it. And the House wouldn't go for that. Yeah, the Congress would have to approve that. But some people were thinking that maybe he might try to do that. And, you know, obviously, in a time like this, a lot of things are being changed and moved around. And, you know, some people felt like he might try to delay the election or refuse to leave office if he loses in November. So there's just a lot of concerns because there's a lot of stuff that you can't do that somehow has been getting done. I mean, if you delay the election, how long are you going to delay it?

Because on January 20th, I think it's January 20th, January 20th, 2021 at noon, Donald Trump would lose all his presidential power. You know what would happen if that would happen? It would come lock his ass up immediately. 12.01, he'd be in handcuffs. I wonder if there's a way that he can extend it if the pandemic continues and it continues to, you know, people continue to die and it's becoming where people can't go out and vote. Or is that second wave that they're talking about? Yeah, I mean, can they extend it? I mean, we see Mike Bloomberg do it.

Mike Bloomberg, I mean, it was only mayor, but there's never been three terms in New York City, and he made it happen. So, you know, you just never know. I don't think he would because it would be to his benefit because I think low voter turnout benefits Donald Trump. So I don't think he would. All right, now let's talk about businesses reopening. Missouri is allowing businesses to reopen on May 4th. They said our plan is working. The health care system is not overwhelmed and we are winning the battle, according to the governor there and local communities will be allowed to have stricter rules if they so choose.

Alaska is allowing salons and restaurants to reopen in most parts of the state. And what's today's date? Well, that's already happened. So on that same day, Oklahoma permitted some personal care businesses to reopen for appointments, and in California, some beaches that have been closed have reopened for public use, even though they have limitations.

Now, Georgia's reopening has been pretty aggressive so far. Hair and nail salons, gyms, bowling alleys, tattoo studios, massage therapists, all of those have reopened. Theaters and restaurants reopened also just yesterday in Texas. They said businesses such as retail stores, restaurants, and theaters can reopen Friday, but they must limit customers. And that order will allow libraries and museums to open as well.

So that's just some of the restrictions that have been lifted in some of these states. All right. Can we go back to talking about some of these dumbasses for a second, though? What do you mean? The people who, you know, they say it's a, what did you say you? It was a spike in people drinking bleach since Donald Trump said that? Yes, ingesting disinfectants. And Trump not taking responsibility.

How much responsibility should he have for that? Let's say it's a serious conversation. How much responsibility should he have? I think a lot. I say 50. 80%. I say 50 should he have? I think a lot. 75%. 80%. I say 50% because he said it and he's the president. But if you're dumb enough to drink bleach, because anybody said to drink bleach,

but especially somebody like Donald Trump, you got to take some responsibility on your own, too. Well, let's open up the phone. Especially a grown-ass person. 800-585-1051. But this is the thing, Charlemagne. A lot of people don't know. And I know you say, oh, no, thing, Charlemagne. A lot of people don't know. And I know you say, oh, no, everybody should know. No, a lot of people don't know the effects of bleach.

Are you saying some people are dumb? I'm just saying that people do not know. Are you saying people are dumb? You know, people take all kinds of, people are taking all kinds of things. Like they might say, oh, this, you know, that cures malaria. This is used to treat that. You should try this. People went and ordered that online and never took it before and didn't know what that was.

That's an actual medication. People are trying. You don't know what's in it, though. You know what I'm saying? People are trying to do all kinds of things just because they heard Donald Trump say it. It's still medicine, though. There's a difference between telling somebody to take a medicine

and telling somebody, you know, inject disinfectant in your body. But he is the president, and people feel like, well, damn, maybe he knows something that we don't know. He's speaking to all the doctors out there. All the doctors are telling him everything. So if the president, the guy that talks to Fauci and all these other

doctors, say, hey, bleach, that's the cure. A lot of people are going to be like, you know what, let me try. You say 80%. I say half. You know what I'm saying people are going to be like, you know what? Let me try. You say 80%. I say half. You know what I'm saying? Because I still think that people got to take responsibility and hold themselves accountable for their actions. What's your percentage?

100? No, I wouldn't say 100% because you can't believe everything, but I do feel like he has at least a 70% responsibility in that. I would like to talk to people because I know somebody out there who feels like he shouldn't get no responsibility for it. 800-585-1051. Talking Donald Trump, man, how much percent should he have on people taking shots of bleach or injecting themselves with bleach shots?

Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's topic time. Pick up the phone, baby. Call 800-585-1051 to join in to the discussion with The Breakfast Club. Let's talk about it.

Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Now, if you just join us, we're talking Donald Trump. Now, he said to people out there, maybe to cure corona, maybe you should take shots of bleach. Is that what he said, Yee? Play the clip. He didn't say it.

Play the clip. Play the clip. They've seen a spike in people using disinfectant after your comments last week. I know you said they were sarcastic. I can't imagine why. I can't imagine why, yeah. Take any responsibility if someone were to die? No, I can't imagine.

I can't imagine that. Yeah, go ahead, please. Yeah, something that they're looking into. Correct. Possibly injecting disinfectant, something that maybe his team should look into. Right. He didn't say to do it. He just said something the team should look into. Right. He didn't say to do it.

He just said something the team was looking into. Okay. So, 800-585-1051. We're asking how much blame should the president have? I'm thinking 75%, 80%. That's me, honestly. Now, Charlamagne said people are stupid. And if you listen to him.

Oh, no, no, no. People are stupid. No. Let's be clear about that. He's the president. He's the president. He is the president. And people believe what the president say. It's not like it's kind of like remember what was that hydrochloroquine when you bought that?

That's a medication. Why did you buy it? Why did you buy it? Because it's a medication. But why? Because he said that it possibly works, correct? Yeah, but it's a medication. That's a huge difference between telling somebody to take a medication and telling somebody to inject disinfectant.

Common sense lets me know since day one because I can read. If you read any Lysol, if you read any Clorox, any type of disinfectant, it says do not ingest this. Do not drink this. Do not take this in. Like, that's common sense. I'm not listening to anything the president says until we get a second opinion, a third opinion, and a fourth opinion. There's no way in hell he says it. But since he is the president, just like when he said— You listen when he told you to stay your ass home a few weeks ago.

I was staying my ass home before he said it. When he said, oh, no, it's something like, no, you don't have to wear a mask. I was wearing a mask and staying home before him. I definitely wasn't listening to the president. And I think what the big issue here is, and this is what's been happening all along, we should be listening to the medical experts and not to the president when it comes to what should you be taking. And Donald Trump's been putting it upon himself to have these press conferences where he's heading them up every day and telling people what they need to

be doing. And sometimes people are actually listening to that. And sometimes you get information third hand, like you get the, I heard this or I heard you should try this. And some people are really dealing with coronavirus, having tested positive. And they're concerned. They're scared. They're willing to do whatever it is that they have to do to try to get better. Because it is a scary thing. Some people are really sick and they have family members they're concerned about.

So they're like, look, I don't know if this is going to work, but I'll try it. And that's why I give him 50% of the blame because he is a leader. Nah, he's a leader and leaders lead. We got to give adults, adults got to hold themselves more accountable than just 20% because another adult told them to do something. If it was a child, yes. But when you're a grown-ass human being, man or woman, and you do something because somebody else tells you to do it, you've got to

take half the blame. It's a 50-50 blame. But it's not like some stranger on the street is telling you that too, by the way. I don't care who it is. It's still grown. Let me ask you guys a question. Then who do you listen to? Barack Obama says, hey guys, we're testing Clorox right now and

it looks like it's pretty positive in the effects of people. I'm going to say Barack Obama's out of his black-ass mind, and I want to see him and his family take shots of the bleach first before we do it. Okay, show me that it works on you, okay, because you're the leader. I don't give a damn who the president is. Who cares? If somebody tells you to drink bleach, you tell them you first. What if Dr. Fauci said it?

You first. Show me. Don't tell What if Dr. Fauci said it? You first. Show me. Don't tell me, Dr. Fauci. Show and prove by actions and deeds, not words and lip service. You are a leader. Show by example. Let me see. All right.

Well, let's go to the phone lines. Hello, who's this? Hi, Robert. Hey, Robert. Where you calling from, brother? Patterson, New Jersey, my friend. All right, Patterson, New Jersey. Now, we're asking, how much blame do you think the president has in encouraging people?

Can I say encouraging? People to possibly try to reach? I don't know if encouraging is the right word. Just putting that on the table. Putting that out there as a possibility. And people trying it. How much do you think the president has blame on that? It's our fault as a society if you allow me to offend this.

Like, you know, we moved away from common sense as a people. We allow media to control everything they do. Nobody has an independent thought. I remember I would have gotten smacked in the head by my mom if I would have tried to drink bleach. Like, you know what I mean? Like, we know what I mean? Like we easily can, I'm not, I'm not saying that I'm a Trump supporter, but easily you can blame somebody else in the media for something which common sense should have dictated what you're doing. Absolutely. And that's it. I mean,

and it is our fault as a society because we allow this and we don't give some of us don't give our children or young people critical thinking abilities, the ability as a question to use their common sense. Instead of doing that, we just allow the media, and no disrespect to different members of the media, but we allow the media to make every decision for them, and the one that's taken is gold. What would you say? What's the percentage? That came straight from Donald Trump's mouth. It didn't come from the media. I mean, it's not just... Pardon, ma'am?

No, I'm saying that didn't come from the media. That came from Donald Trump's mouth. It wasn't that they put out a fake story. That's what Donald Trump said. Yes, ma'am, but also remember where he came from. He came from the media. And he became our president. He came from there.

He's a part of it. Everybody's a part of it. Anybody that's watching the TV or anything of the sort. And all I'm saying is that we have to take responsibility. We as a people, our generation is coming up. Critically think. Don't take everything as gold. That's a fact. So what do you think the percentage is?

If you had to give a percentage, what do you think? How much blame should he get? It's spread out. I'll give it 15%. But then it's spread to all of us for not questioning. 15? That's all? That's the only you're going to blame should he get? It's spread out. I'll give it 15%, but then it's spread to all of us. We're not questioning. 15? That's all? That's the only you're going to blame of 15%?

It's because it's larger than that. It's not just, it's something that's been into our generation. All right. I agree with you. I still say 50-50, but I can see why he would put it on 85% of the population. Because you have to use common sense. You know not to drink bleach. I know that, but a lot of people don't know.

They might say, you know what? I was told this all my life, but maybe the president knows something, and people are dying, so let me just get a little shot. Boy, that's your dumb ass. 800-585-1051. How much, what percentage should the president be blamed for this?

Let's talk about it. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I know it, man. I know it, man. I know it It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness.

I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness.

I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness.

I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness.

I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness.

I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness.

I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. I ain't no witness. everybody it's dj nv angela yee charlamagne the guy we are the breakfast club now if you just join us we're talking about the president and well let's just just play the audio they've seen a spike in people using disinfectant after your comments last week i know you said they were sarcastic i can't imagine why i can't imagine why yeah take any responsibility no i don't know i can't imagine

i can't imagine that yeah go ahead please so we please. So we're asking eight hundred five eight five one oh five. Well, let's talk about the percentage of of blame should the president have with this. Hello. Who's this? Yeah, this is Jason. Jason, what's going on, brother? Hey, man. Good morning. Breakfast. Good morning. Good morning. Yeah. Good morning. King Charlemagne. First thing, Charlemagne, I'm going to say 60%. That's my number. I say he should take 60% responsibility. And then the second thing I got to say is Envy, he need to fall back.

Because, first of all, you sound like you picking up for the people that's taking the bleach. Or want to take the bleach. Like, Envy, you sound like you picking up for them. Don't pick up for them. That's totally stupid. It is stupid. It is stupid. And they, like, you sound like you're picking up for them.

You said 60%. 60% is kind of leaning towards the president. You said 60%. Oh, my God, stop. That's not politically correct. They are, though. I just think even gonna lie. Whoever does that. Oh my God, stop. That's not politically correct. They are though. I just think we're just in an era right now, in a pandemic where people are scared to death.

Man, I don't wanna hear that. That's like, that's drinking bleach. It's not like the medication that he told people to take. It's drinking bleach. But we don't even know what that medication is or what's in it. Like you can't just take any random medication. I think common sense would tell people that, too.

Well, people have done their research. It's a malaria drug. Envy knows somebody that actually took it and it worked for them. You know what I'm saying? Yeah, it was prescribed by a doctor. But it's a totally, it's different when it's a medication as opposed to Clorox, Lysol, Pine Sol. Come on, guys. Come on, man.

All right. Well, 800-5 on. All right. Well, eight hundred five eight five one oh five one. We're talking what percentage of people do you think the president should be for blame? Let's go to another caller. Hello. Who's this? Hey, this is here. I'm out of Atlanta, Georgia. Hey, Tiara. Good morning. How much blame do you think the president should have? Well, I will say this. I'm a nurse. I work in the ICU. And we're not really considering a population of people with cognitive and mental health disabilities that may have taken his word verbatim and really went and experimented. So I originally said 50-50 because for somebody like me and you, a functioning citizen, that doesn't make much sense, right?

But there are some people who have schizophrenia, bipolar, and are just not there who probably took his word verbatim. So I say he deserves like 100% now. See? Jesus Christ, 100? How can he have 100% when you just admitted that there's people out there who have common sense, good sense? We ain't talking about those amongst us who don't have, you know, all their cognitive functions.

The ones that have all their cognitive functions, if they're doing it, come on now. He's the leader of the country. He's responsible for every individual in our country. Or you wouldn't have elected him, or the majority wouldn't have elected him. So we need to hold him responsible. It was very irresponsible.

I think they said something about 30 people in New York ingested something overnight. I mean, I would be curious to see who those people are and what their background is. True. He's a figure. He's a public figure at the end of the day. He's a public figure.

It was irresponsible. What hospital do you work at, ma'am? I work at Atlanta Medical, downtown Atlanta Medical. I will say this. What's that? Every patient that I've taken care of has been positive for COVID. It's been black. They've been the elderly.

They have been black. I'm not saying that patients haven't been tested positive from other ethnicities, but everybody I've taken care of, and I work in downtown Atlanta, I work with these communities, the impoverished, the underserved, everybody I've taken care of thus far over the last 40 days that has been tested positive for COVID is black. So I do think we need to take that into consideration overall for this pandemic because it's been hard for me too.

It's been rough for all of us. Do you think they should open up Atlanta? Do you think they're too early with opening up Atlanta? I need my personal, I need my hair and nails done. But no. Oh my gosh. We really need to take this into consideration. It is Atlanta.

So we're a big black community. So yeah, I think we should have gone much slower. Much slower. Can I ask you a question, my sister? Let me ask you a question, my sister. You go to the nail salon. You go get your hair done, your nails done. You contract coronavirus.

Is that Governor Kim's fault? No, but I will say this. A lot of people, a lot of us already have it already, right? I've been exposed to it long before the pandemic had happened, before we actually started taking statistics of it. So it is irresponsible for me to go out in public knowing that I could be a carrier because I'm around it every day just so I can get my hair and nails done. So with that respect, yes, we're very aggressive out here in Georgia, very aggressive.

But I do have, you know, my personal bias. And so I'm like, hey, I'm going to wear a mask and I'm going to get my own. All right. Well, thank you for checking in. Well, what's the moral of the story? I've been telling people all day long,

if you find a blue Sour Patch kit, it will definitely prevent COVID-19. Why are you telling people that? Because that's the truth. Yeah, I don't understand that. I'm just telling people that. If y'all take bleach, y'all can eat a blue sour patch, kid. It's the same. It'll save you.

I don't know what the hell Envy's talking about right now, but the moral of the story for me is, you know, I give him 50-50 blame because he's a leader, and leaders should lead by actions and deeds. And he did say it. He floated the idea out there, but if you got good sense, if you know better, if you can read warnings on the disinfectant that says do not inject

and you inject, that's on your domain. Let me ask you a question. You said this before. You believe that a lot of people that voted for Donald Trump don't have good sense, correct? Yes or no? They are stupid, yes. Okay.

So now those same people that you just called stupid, now he just told them to take Clorox. Do you think they will do it or not? I hope so. We don't want them to take Clorox. Do you think they will do it or not? I hope so. We don't want them to show up in November. We don't want them to show up in November. We got rumors on the way. I can't mess with this guy. You don't hope so?

I do not hope that anybody takes bleach at all. I didn't say nothing about dying. I do not hope that anyone ingests bleach. We got rumors on the way? Yes, and we are going to talk about about dying. I didn't say nothing about dying. I do not hope that anyone ingests bleach. Geesh. All right, well,

we got rumors on the way? Yes, and we are going to talk about this talk show host who is ready

to date again. She's single and ready to mingle. All right, we'll get to it next. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody.

It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yes, indeed. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. Good morning. Yes, indeed. Great conversation we just had about how much responsibility should the president have for his disinfectant comments. And Angela Yee said somebody said something about rap music. Hold on. Somebody said in the comments, but society blames the murder rate on rap lyrics, school shootings, on video games and movies. Yet somehow the president shouldn't be held responsible for his rhetoric.

Nobody said the president shouldn't be held responsible. The president should be held halfway responsible. The same way you wouldn't give all the credit to rap music. Same way you wouldn't give all the credit to video games. He said he agrees with 70%. 70? It's not a bad number. I'm at a 70.

All right. I'm at a 70. Happy birthday to DJ ProStyle. Today's ProStyle's birthday, so happy birthday to DJ ProStyle. Drop one of Clues Bomb for DJ ProStyle. I was going to say the Dominican sensation, but I don't really know what ProStyle is anymore. What is ProStyle?

I don't know. That's a good question. ProStyle, you got to pick a side. You're Dominican, you're Puerto Rican, you're Greek. What are you, pro? I don't know. You have a directory, right? You have a directory. I don't know what everybody's nationality is, man.

No, I don't know everybody's nationality. I think he's Dominican, I think, right? See, the fact that we have to say we think, we don't know. I don't know. All right. Happy 51st born day, pro. And he's Dominican. He is Dominican. All right. Well, we got rumors on the 51st born day, bro. And he's Dominican. He is Dominican.

All right. Well, we got rumors on the way, Yee. What are we talking about? Yes, we are going to be talking about sports. You know, a lot of us are looking forward to sports coming back. But in the meantime, I have some fun things going on for you. All right. We'll get into that next.

Keep it locked. It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. This is The Rumor Report with Angela Yee. Rumor has it. On The Breakfast Club. So listen up. This is the rumor report with Angela Yee. Yes, so NeNe Leakes is responding to people saying that the reason why she won't publicly speak on what's going on with her and Wendy Williams during the Real Housewives of Atlanta reunion is because of an agreement they have. Here's what she said. I don't have a strategic relationship with her.

She wanted us to get into a better place. We met up. We talked. I told her if we ever had any other issue, that I would not go on a public platform and speak about it. She told me if we ever had any other issue, that she would personally call me and text me herself. She would not go publicly talking about anything. Now, why she didn't hold her end of the bargain up, I do not know. So I don't even know why I need to sit here on Real Housewives and talk about why I did not go public with me and Wendy's relationship.

That has nothing to do with the show. All right. It had nothing to do with the show at all. Now, according to Wendy Williams, on a whole different note, she is excited to date, but she might not want to date somebody that asked her to go out right now during this your house. I'm with my driver. He said, I've got a really nice present for you. I know you'll love it. We'll go out for crab, good steak and cigars. I text him back. I'm like, no, I'm happily quarantining. Bye. And the idea that he had this idea during heavy quarantine makes me not even want to go out with him after quarantine. I'm kind of confused. Because everything is closed. You can't go anywhere and eat. Like, where would they go to get crabs and steak?

They can't eat outside. They can't eat at the restaurant. That man might have EBT card. He might have EBT and he went into the grocery store and got him some shrimps. True. And some crab legs and some steak. You know what I'm saying? He might be cooking.

He might be bringing it to the house to cook up at the house. Or maybe he has a private jet and they're going to fly out to Atlanta and go to a restaurant there. Maybe. Okay. All right. I would think an EBT card. I think he was pulling up with the groceries. I could understand questioning somebody's judgment, though, if they're asking you to do something right now.

And we don't even know each other like that. And, you know, we're not going on a date right now. Come on. date right now come on all right i want to give a rest in peace to uh sebastian telfair's mother and brother uh they both died after coronavirus battle so sebastian was on the breakfast club right recently and she was six the mother was 64 years old erica telfair. She died early yesterday after battling coronavirus. And then her passing came after Sebastian's older brother, Dan Turner, died

March 28th from coronavirus. So we want to send our condolences to Sebastian Telfair's family. He's also Stefan Marbury's cousin as well. Is he locked up or is he out? I wasn't sure if he had to turn himself in yet. I think he's still out right now.

He did turn himself in and then he was released. He has an ongoing situation. So he's out. Yes, he's out right now and he's on house arrest. All right. Damn. Condolences to his family. Definitely.

All right. Now let's talk about some more sports things. We all have been watching the Michael Jordan special. And one thing that was talked about was his relationship with Carmen Electra. Well, now Carmen Electra is talking about some things that her and Dennis Rodman did. And according to Carmen Electra, they had sex all over the Bulls practice facility. She said one day when the Bulls had an off day from practicing, Dennis told her he had a surprise. He blindfolded me. We got on his motorcycle. When we finally take my blindfold off, we're standing at the Bulls practice facility center court. It was crazy, like two kids in a candy store.

We were eating popsicles from the fridge and having sex all over the damn place, in the physical therapy room and the weight room, obviously on the court. To be honest, I don't think he's ever worked out so hard in his life. Dropping the clothes bombs for goddamn Dennis Rodman. Goodness gracious. I saw somebody yesterday trending on Twitter.

His name is Bill Simmons. Bill Simmons has been on The Breakfast Club. I've been on Bill's podcast. Bill, that was one of the dumbest statements you ever made in your life. Bill Simmons said, there is absolutely nothing interesting about dennis rodman and there has never been anything interesting about dennis rodman dennis rodman is only probably the most interesting player ever to play in the nba ever to play in probably any sport and that right there having sex with carmen electra all throughout the bulls

facility that adds to his interesting legend bill sim Simmons. Watch your goddamn mouth, Bill. Come on, Bill. He's definitely interesting. And did he date Toni Braxton? Did I see that too? Toni Braxton said no. She said no. They were at the VMAs together. They were not dating. Yeah, he was picking up and twirling her around. When you make comments like

Dennis Rodman's not interesting, you're just trolling. Bill Simmons, you did the white version of trolling. That was vanilla trolling, okay? All right, Aaron Gordon has put out a Dwayne Wade diss track. It's called 9 Out of 10. And that's all because of the slam dunk contest. Dwayne Wade got a lot of backlash. And Aaron Gordon let it be known that he's not happy about the outcome of that contest.

And here is the diss track aimed at Dwayne Wade. Even Adam Silver told me I deserve the gold didn't get the trophy but I got something to hold these forgive me bro I won't sell my soul big chillin paint me as a villain I jumped over the biggest dude in the building God willing the best and then I still am your judgment gives me no fulfillment I see you young OG I thought you saw the same in me Legend in my city, promise I'ma make you believe Yeah, he feels like those results were predetermined, so.

But I think the two of them are just joking, obviously. We got to get the NBA back going. These a**es is losing their goddamn minds. Please, please, please restart the NBA as soon as possible. What the hell? What was the point of that? I have no idea. I mean, if the dunk contest was in February, it's April.

If he was playing ball, he wouldn't be thinking about that. He's sitting around bored. He probably watched the rerun of the dunk. Yep, he watched the rerun of the dunk contest. He was like, I got something for this D-Wade. And speaking of basketball, LaMelo, Lonzo, and LiAngelo Ball are planning to sign with Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports. So they have been shopping for an agency. They spoke with several agents, Ball Lamello, Lonzo, and LiAngelo Ball are planning to sign with Jay-Z's Rock Nation Sports.

So they have been shopping for an agency. They spoke with several agents, and ultimately they went with Rock Nation. Okay. I love it. All right, I'm Angela Yee, and that is your rumor report. All right, thank you, Miss Yee. Now, when we come back, Charlamagne, who are you giving that down to? You know, these antisocial distances, man. Audrey Whitlock.

It's very hard to feel sorry for them when things happen to them because they're making a choice. They're bringing it on themselves. But we'll talk about it for after the hour. All right, we'll get to that next. Keep it locked. This is The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. Charlamagne, say the gang. Don't get out of shape, man. You are a donkey. It's time for Donkey of the Day. Donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the Day does not discriminate. I might not have the song of the day, but I got the donkey of the day. So if you ever feel I need to be a donkey man, hit it with the heat.

It's a breakfast club, bitches. Who's donkey of the day today? Donkey of the day for Tuesday, April 28th goes to a woman named Audrey Whitlock. Now, who is Audrey Whitlock? First of all, she looks like a Karen. Okay, that's number one. Second of all, she's from North Carolina and she is the organizer of a North Carolina group called Reopen NC. All right. Does anyone want to take a stab at why her organization is called Reopen NC at a time like this?

If you guess, it's a group of antisocial distances who want North Carolina to ease its coronavirus restrictions. You are correct. What is dumbass is for 500, Alex? I was actually on the Reopen NC Facebook page reading what they are about their mission statement. And it says they are a peaceful action group that was formed on April 7th, 2020. Two weeks later, the grassroots movement had grown to 68,000 North Carolina patriots. We stand for the Constitution. We are mostly business owners and employees that are losing income and denied our right to provide for our families. We have come together to demand action from our elected officials, end quote. You selfish bastards. We are mostly business owners and employees that are losing income. Nevermind the fact people are

getting sick and losing their lives. Never mind the fact folks are losing loved ones. You just mad because you losing income and the nerve to say you are being denied the right to provide for your family. People are being denied the right to see their family and their loved ones when they are in these hospitals dying of coronavirus. Not to mention nobody is denying you your right to provide for your family. There is a global pandemic happening, a disease, COVID-19, the Rona, okay, Corona, whatever you want to call it. People are getting sick and dying, all right? Your elected officials are saving your stupid ass from yourself. People get upset when I say this, but sometimes you have to take away someone's power of choice

simply because you know they will make the wrong decision. The reason they have to shut everything down is because of people like Audrey Whitlock, because regardless of all the news coverage, all the warning signs, no matter how many people get sick and die, if you leave it up to her, she will still go out. And that's why when you're a leader, you have to lead and make certain choices for those of us who don't make good choices. Same way you got to tell your two and three-year-old and four-year-old and five-year-old what to do because they're just young and they don't have the information yet. But for you adults that know better but still don't do better, I got to goddamn hold your hand before you hurt yourself. So yes, shut down all non-essential businesses, please. Shut down all large groups and gatherings. Close the clubs, the churches.

Everybody sit your ass down until we flatten this curve. Well, Audrey Woodlock and her hard-headed, selfish-ass friends at Reopen NC have been fighting against it. In fact, last week, they had a demonstration in Raleigh demanding North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper speed up plans to lift the stay-at-home

order, which is in effect until May 8th. Now, if I'm going to look at my phone, May 8th is goddamn... May 8th is in like 10 days or something like that weeks yep yeah it's like it's like come on and organizers i'm looking at this rally and i see it was more than a hundred of y'all mainly unmasked protesters not social distancing at all have any of you ever stopped to think that y'all are the ones holding up progress? If you were social distancing, you would be helping to flatten the curve. The sooner the curve is flattened, the faster you get back to work. But instead, y'all clicking up,

holding rallies of 100 people and probably spreading this disease even more. Okay, now the group is actually scheduled to hold their third rally today outside Raleigh's legislative building. Well, listen, reopen and see. I don't know if you know this, but your organizer, your Facebook administrator, Audrey Whitlock, who brought all of y'all together. She hasn't been able to attend any of those rallies. Would you like to know why? Well, let's go to WTBDD ABC 11 for the report, please. An administrator for the Reopen NC Facebook page has confirmed she tested positive for COVID-19 and recently finished up her quarantine. According to Audrey Whitlock, she was asymptomatic and ended her 14-day quarantine yesterday. Now, Whitlock would not tell ABC 11 if she had been tested

positive to determine if she still has the virus. It's also unclear whether Whitlock would not tell ABC 11 if she had been tested positive to determine if she still has the virus. It's also unclear whether Whitlock attended last Tuesday's reopen NC protest. When asked if she attended, Whitlock said she had no comment. Man, drop on the clues bombs for God. Man, God knows he got a sense of humor. Boy, God will show you, won't he? Life is really a spoof directed by the Wayans brothers, Neil Brennan, Dave Chappelle, and Aaron Magruder. This is a scene from an episode of boondocks,

a bunch of anti-social distances protesting in North Carolina, demanding they open the state back up their organizer, head administrator of their Facebook group contracts coronavirus. Meanwhile, all y'all reopen NC members going to show up today in a large group no mask no social distancing probably hugging shaking hands spreading the disease that's keeping y'all from working and enjoying your freedom now audrey posted uh as an asymptomatic covid19 positive patient another concern i have is the treatment of covid patients as it relates to other communicable diseases. Okay. I've

been forced to quarantine in my home for two weeks. Oh, now you see what they're going through, huh, Audrey? Yeah. That's what happens when you have coronavirus. Trust me though, being quarantined in your house for two weeks is way better than fighting for your life on a ventilator and dying alone in a hospital. All right. Audrey, clearly you are the type to take a shot of Lysol to kill Corona because your president told you to. So let me tell you the message God is trying to tell you because you're going to miss it. OK, you are an organizer and administrator on Facebook. You form this group on April 7th. Two weeks later, you had 68000 people join. Y'all protested, had 100 folks at the rallies.

That means that you have the ability to bring people together. People listen to you. You're able to organize. So God is using you as a vessel to go tell those reopen NC folks to sit their dumb asses down. Yes, we all want to get back to work. Nobody is being denied their right to provide. These are just circumstances that are out of our control. And the only way to regain some type of control is to sit your stupid ass down and let's flatten this curve. The longer you out, the longer we got to be in. It's just that simple. Not to mention when people like this get sick, when people like this die, it's hard to

feel sorry for them. Now, we talked about this with the president last hour. You know what I'm saying? Audrey got Corona. How much of her catching Corona is on her? What's the percentage you think, Envy? How much percentage would you give her? I don't know. 40%, 50%?

40, 50? Yee, what about you? How much percentage would you give this young lady? I would say 80%. 80%. 80% her fault? Mm-hmm. Okay. I would say 80%. 80%. 80% her fault. Mm-hmm. Okay.

I agree. Please give Audrey Whitlock the sweet... Do I want to give her to me? Think about it. You know what? Let Chelsea Handler give Audrey Whitlock the biggest hee-haw. Hee-haw. Hee-haw.

That is way too much Dan Menez. I was going to play a game of guess what race it is, but I don't feel like it. Plus, I said she looked like a Karen earlier, so that gave it away. Yeah, I was ready for this one. I don't feel like it. Plus, I said she looked like a Karen earlier, so that gave it away. Yeah, I was ready for this one. I didn't go from. Yeah, but I said she looked like a Karen, so that kind of gave it away. I had the clue, yeah. I was waiting for that one.

Yeah. All right. Well, thank you for that donkey of the day. Yes, and you got to know when God is using you. God is clearly using her to deliver a message to those people that she organized and let them know we need to take this serious, sit our ass down, flatten this curve. Because like I said, the longer they out, the longer we got to be in. All right. Now, when we come back,

Michael Arsenault will be joining us. We'll kick it with Michael Arsenault. He's an author. And we'll kick it with him when we come back. Don't move, it's The Breakfast Club. He has a book out right now called I Don't Want to Die Poor. And he wrote the book I Can't Date Jesus. And that's being developed into a TV show with Gerard Carmichael. That's right, and we'll talk to him when we come back.

It's The Breakfast Club. Good morning. The Breakfast Club. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are The Breakfast Club. We got a special guest now, Michael Arsenault. Welcome, sir. Thank y'all for having me in a pandemic. Happy belated

happy belated happy belated born day too, Michael. I appreciate that. How have you been holding it down during this paradigmic? Pandemic. I was going to say paradigmic. What the f*** is a paradigmic? Wait a minute, Michael. Michael, before you move on,

I need to know what the f*** is a paradigmic, and I need to know right now. What is a paradigmic? It's a paradigm. It's a paradigm and a pandemic mixed together. Jesus Christ. You the a**hole, man. You, you, Charlamagne.

So we're asking... It's about compassion. I usually let people make it. I would say releasing a book in a pandemic ain't the move, but there are bigger things to complain about. I don't want to die poor. Yeah, I mean, honestly, it just depends on the day. Like this morning, I was smoking weed listening to Karen Clark Shears.

Am I even saved like that? Not really, but I needed it. Now, I was saying this is a perfect time for I Don't Want to Die Poor to come out because right now a lot of us are thinking about things like, you know, your student loan debt is something that is talked about in this book because that's a crippling thing for so many people. The book is timely, but it was timely before this,

which is why this is so much more painful for everybody else. Like, you know, I write about student loan debt, but I also write about how hard it is to have access to health insurance. Like, honestly, the uncle that I referenced in the title chapter, he died in the fall. He had cancer, but my uncle didn't have insurance, and that killed him more than anything else.

And the fact that I'm in Harlem right now, New York Times bestseller and all, I mentioned I made the list the same week but lost my health insurance. And I have it back now, but it ain't great. So if I caught the coronavirus right now, I am just as susceptible as death to anybody else. So I try to, you know, admit about struggle, but in a way that is, I make fun of myself.

I'm really honest about what it is. But it is hope. Like, I'm kind of turning to Ayanna in a way, I think. I'm trying to be Zen, beloved. This is my way of being Zen, making peace with stuff I can't make with people. Dearly beloved. Yes, dearly beloved.

But this is like a step in the fact that I did the best I could when I took out those loans to go to college. I don't come from like rich people. Even having access to middle class black people was some s**t I didn't think existed until I went to Howard. I thought they were like TV black folk. So a lot of us, particularly black college graduates, have private student loans, which is a smaller portion of the debt, but it's disproportionately impacting us because we don't have the means and the schools don't have as much resources. So I've been paying over like a thousand a month in loans for a really long time, and that's impacted every facet of my life and so a lot of people right now i just know

are struggling and they're afraid and this book is not going to help you get rich i don't pretend that it will but i do think it'll help you feel heard um allow you to forgive yourself if you feel like you need to be forgiven in a way because you know being broke it's like a ballad of a broke but it really is kind of just realizing like it's hard and most of us just really want to have social mobility and that's so much more easier to attain than we're sold. So I hope this really helps people. Let me ask you a question. You know, you mentioned Howard University and we talk about colleges all the time.

A lot of people sometimes feel that college is not a necessity anymore, that it's really an expense that doesn't necessarily pay off in a lot of professions? How do you feel about that? Because like you said, you started off in the hole. I think that honestly depends on the person and what they want to do in life. And not necessarily what they want to do in life.

Like, if you don't get to live your dream, what can you do for a living that gives you a livable wage, gives you a quality of life that you're accustomed to for your family, wherever you're with? And that might not require college. And we need to have that kind of conversation because a lot of people can have bachelor's degrees and make so little money. When you look at the median income in this country, a lot of people aren't making money. And even people who make, you can make $100,000 dollars be broke in this country because of the way debt is structured i think more often now people think i make this amount therefore i'm okay and this is a lot of really selfish kind of american mentality but

the reality is more often than not no matter how much you're making you're probably being paid less than what you should be in this country unless you're part of the people taking advantage so i'm trying to really help people change like their attitude. I see people even still trying to stunt on Instagram in a pandemic. Right. And I'm like, I love my people, but I'm like, my guy. Michael, let me tell you something. I think your book is kind of prophetic, right? Because you've been working on this for a while.

And I mean, sadly, a book like this would be timely at any point in America. But I mean, at right now, in this moment, it's OD timely. So you got to kind of embrace that, right? I'm embracing it. But, you know, honestly, last year, I hated writing this book because I would say I thought I would even be in a different position in life. And I wasn't. And I was reminded, like a lot of people are now, the fragility of our situation and how sometimes no matter how hard we work, no matter how much we do, our fate isn't always in our control. Like the reality is right now, a racist game show host is in control of a lot of our fate.

That's right. Lastly, I had to make peace with a lot of people dying on me. Me not even want to live sometimes and struggle with my own depression, which is exacerbated by like financial woes. So I will say I'm really glad that I finished the book. And I think also you hear so much about millennials, but in the context of like we're ruining the economy because we're not buying houses or we let chain restaurants go down. I'm like, bitch, because we ain't got no money. I also think it's knowledge too. I think it's knowledge too.

I think the problem is like, you know, even looking at my parents is they don't know how to invest. They never learned how to invest. For myself, I have to figure it out on my own. And there's a couple, a lot of L's that I take. So I think we have to start teaching each other how to invest. They never learned how to invest. For myself, I have to figure it out on my own. And there's a couple of a lot of L's that I take. So I think we have to start teaching each other how to do things to make sure that we can survive. I will say if I am so fortunate to be in any of y'all tax brackets, I will ask y'all about that. Because right now I'm just like, please don't let people say that's the dumb s**t all the way up because I'm about to pay off maybe one of these loans.

You talk about that in the book. You talk about how people will be like, well, why didn't you do this? And you're like, man, I was 17, 18 years old. I had no idea the difference in the kind of student loans that I was getting. And then you're thinking like, okay, you said one of the main things when you were feeling like ending everything and you can't take it anymore. I don't want my mom to have to pay

my student loan debt. And that's a real thing, to have to even think like that. So the original essay that the book was in, the New York Times, the title was originally about, I can't, I couldn't, I wouldn't kill myself

because my mom would be on the hook. And that's the reality of like private loans because like this 2003 bankruptcy bill that George Bush was responsible for, but Biden played a role in and he must atone for. I see his language on student loan debt cancellation has changed, so that's good. But what I can't date Jesus with, again, I am grateful that everybody supported.

I got $15,000 for that. I'm grateful for what I got. And I was struggling. I was struggling to pay my rent. If not for people helping me, I might have got a New York Times bestseller and not had an apartment. Because I didn't want to default on my loans because of the responsibility I felt for my mother. Fortunately, I think I would have avoided such fate. But the fact that I even had to think about that, that doesn't really add to the fact that if I were white,

and again, I'm grateful to my publisher. I get it. But I know for a fact certain white people who are there on paper, the same level as me, if not below, got more money than me based on the presumption that because they're white, they're more commercial. There's nothing I can ever change in my life about the fact that people think because I'm black and gay that people won't care as much. I have to deal with that burden every day, which is why I'm grateful to be in this space to talk about it. But no matter what debt I have will count the fact that I'm going to be in this space to talk about it. But no matter the debt I have will account for the fact that, like, I'm going to be starting from behind on just on that front. Like, I took that deal because I felt

if I got I Can't Take Jesus out and people actually got to access it, it will do well. But I shouldn't have to bear that burden. All right, we got more with Michael Arsenal when we come back. Don't move. It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy.

We are The Breakfast Club. We have Michael. We're still kicking it with Michael Arsenal. Yee. You also talked about reality television, right? And potentially being on a reality TV show and getting paid so little as a black gay man compared to what other people were getting to be on reality TV

because people feel like it doesn't have the market for something like that. So that kind of goes in line with your book deal. I do reference the show on YouTube. It's called Chasing Atlanta, Chasing Dallas. They're so funny because so many people copy black gay men on these shows, but they're not on any

of these networks. I'm like, put them on Zeus or something. But you're right. Reality was not for me. I'm glad I didn't go down that path. Like, you know. Right. But you're right. Yeah, reality was not for me. I'm glad I didn't go down that path. I want to have a black person conversation right now, though, because what you said was very interesting. No, seriously. The first time, the first person who ever offered me

a book deal, it was a s***y number. I don't know. I don't think it was 15. It might have been like 25, something like that. And then somebody else hit me to the game and he was like, hell no. $25,000, something like that. And then somebody else hit me to the game, and he was like, hell no, $25,000. And so that's when somebody went, and we shopped the book deal around and went to like four different publishers, and I ended up getting, you know, a nice six-figure book deal.

But I think for Michael, he doesn't have a national morning show every single morning, and I think that book publishers look at things like that that you have a platform to promote on every single morning. And I think that book publishers look at things like that, that you have a platform to promote on every single day. I think the number that I should have gotten based on conversations I had with other people, it didn't happen. I accepted it. Also, I will say this. A lot of people were interested in me,

but they wanted me to write my book a very different way. And I think the way that I wanted to tell my story was very specific. And sometimes there is a consequence with that and it's that people don't have as much faith in your vision so you accept this right but to your true I definitely talk to black folks I in fact I want to like Samantha Irby Janet Mark I'm really good friends with her they are very honest with me about dollar mouth and what I should be accepting so yes I went into this with the second book, I already had a number in mind what I would not settle under for.

And I got exactly what I felt I deserved and did not allow myself to be played. I still think, to your point, it could have went a different way the first time. But I will say, even with that, I'm very grateful in that I knew if I was fortunate to make the list, even just a week,

when people shot their nonfiction proposals, that makes it easy for them to get better book deals. Cause usually in a nonfiction proposal, you have to list other books that are like on the market that might be like yours, but how you're different. So when I first tried to get a book deal, I had people like Helena Andrews, who I love, um, love Ta-Nehisi's first book. I was told at the time, take those books off. This is several years ago.

But when I say like black authors aren't really getting book deals, it was a drop here for a while unless you were really famous. But I am glad that people are now getting better deals because of folks like me, because of folks like Darnell Moore, because of Samantha Irby and Janet Mock, because of folks like you. I appreciate you. And the reason I appreciate you is because you're real about the number. And what you said when you said you talked to Janet Mock and the other woman,

it's like you have to have these real conversations about numbers because n****s lie. So you'll be talking to a n**** and he'll be like, I got $4 million for my book deal. And you'll be like, what? So now that's what you were expecting. When that's some bulls**t, you ain't get no $4 million for no first book deal.

There's literally one n**** in particular who I felt was just trying, it was like kind of a dick slinging comment and he was all in my, I was like, I don't give a, this is not helpful to me. So I was,

I know who you're talking about. Who you talking about? You should look at people as like competition. Say it. I'm not saying. But you know, it's just like the record labels though.

You know, like when you get a deal, when you're an artist and you get a deal and you're an unsigned artist and you don't know what you should be getting when they throw that first number at you and like you said, you get a deal, when you're an artist and you get a deal and you're an unsigned artist and you don't know what you should be getting, when they throw that first number at you and like you said, you have student loans, you have bills that need to be paid.

A lot of times artists take that money and then when they realize after that first album is up, like, damn, I f***ed up. I shouldn't have took that deal. That happens a lot. Well, congratulations on this, on your New York Times bestselling book, I Can't Date Jesus, becoming a series, right? We've seen that that's been picked up for a series with Gerard Carmichael. And Lee Daniels. And 20th Century Fox.

I am really excited. TV moves very slow, and I don't want to speak too much, but I'm really excited about that. You have to salute guys like Lee Daniels and Gerard Carmichael Because we talk about Creating space right Who else would recognize a black gay man Other than a black gay man

I had really good conversations With the both of them And in some cases It's interesting for me because I functioned as a critic before a lot of this So what's been interesting about this process for both folks is that I meet folks and I can tell them, like, yo, this is a nice meeting, but I ain't no fake-ass dick.

So let me know exactly what I said about you. This year, for this reason. And then if you need it, I can pull it out right now. And if we good, we good. If you feel a way about it, I understand. I think most people, you know, respect it. What about your rap career, Michael? Can we find some music online or what's going on with that?

You rap? No, I just want to rap. I just want to rap so bad. You got some balls? Tell them the name of your mixtape. Tell them the name of your mixtape, Michael. Cognac and Selexa. That's a shout out to Brown, all my elders,

and the antidepressant I used to use. It's rough out here, mental health. You got a dope rap name. Because Arsenal sounds like arsenal or arson. It's like you burned s*** down. That is one of the many ways people say it. That or Arsenio, because it was like 1990 too. Let's hear something.

You got a couple of bars. I know you got something to stash. No, that's a setup, and that's how you be embarrassed when you borrow because they're going to text me. Last thing I wanted to talk about was this was something we discussed with Boosie, right? I don't know if you saw our Boosie interview, but we did

talk about people selling pictures of their feet online for those people who have foot fetishes and that's something you discuss as a way to make money in the book also. I can't be in business for that right now. to make money in the book also? You know, I don't... I can't be in business for that right now. I admit that in the book. The days of the pretty toes.

You know, after this pandemic ends, if I can ever go back outside, we're going to work on that. And then, if worse comes to worse, I'll sell some foot pictures. I support people that do OnlyFans in the book. I support the sex worker. It's rough on him. Oh, my God. Is that really sex work, though?

Your feet? No. It's more fetish. It's fetish. Okay, I support sex work. I support people that want to do pornography or whatever they want to call that. I support people how to make their money safely and responsibly. The people judge folks that do OnlyFans, but I'm like, you like porn.

What's the strangest thing you've done for some change? Goodness gracious, she. I was going to actually come back with a progress report about that, but I don't have any progress. But in my defense, it's because of the pandemic. That's not my fault. I would tell somebody and say, can y'all stop

trying to have sex during a pandemic? It's a gentrified building across the street, and white men have never paid me any mind. Then all of a sudden, somebody throwing it at me. I was like, that's a setup. Right. You trying to get me to take me out before I finally pay off my loan? Nope.

Well, y'all can talk online. Goodness gracious. I ain't talking online. That's a setup. If you trying to do something during a pandemic, you're not serious. You're not trying to get under that corona c** ****? You don't want to get under that Corona ****, Michael? Goodness gracious. Did you just assume I was a

bottom? That's no better. No. I didn't say nothing about bottoms. How did we get here? How did we get here? We were talking about this book. How did we get here? Because Michael still don't suck ****. He don't suck ****. And that's part of the problem.

I always felt like that. Goodness gracious. For the record, when the pandemic is over, I am going to suck a very nice dick and I'm going to text you and let you know how I went.

In the meanwhile, I don't want to die poor so I don't have to do that for money. I don't want to die poor. Michael, thank you for joining us. We appreciate it. My guy, Michael. I appreciate y'all. Thank you thank you for joining us. We appreciate it.

My guy, Michael. I appreciate y'all. Thank you so much, man. Thank you, bro. All right, well, shout out to Michael Arsenal for joining us. Now, don't move. When we come back, we got the rumors. It's The Breakfast Club.

Good morning. The Breakfast Club. It's about time. What's going on? Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is The Rumor Report. Rumor Report. This is the Rumor Report. Talk to them.

With Angela Yee on The Breakfast Club. Yes, a new versus challenge is coming on Thursday. And this is going to be 3-6 Mafia versus Bone Thugs and Harmony. Who you got? Is this a real versus? Is this real? Is this Swits and Timberland endorsed? Maybe not, but it's

you know. 3-6 Mafia versus Bone Thugs. That's a good one. I don't want that one. I like both of those groups. I was never a big Bone Thugs fan growing up. I wasn't. I wasn't a big Bone Thugs fan. I got a lot of partners. Why don't you want it?

Why don't you want it? I think that's going to be a good one. Because I've never sat around in the history of life and said, yo, you know who's the better group between 3-6 Mafia and Bone Thugs? Like some of these battles got to have some type of like, like you know how we sit around in the hood back in the day, whether you're in the barbershop or you're at school and there's certain groups you argue about. I've never argued about 3-6 and Bone Thugs.

Like that's just two totally different styles. I guess you're just going, it's like a sound clash, I guess. But for me, personally, 3-6 Mafia. Yeah, I mean. That's what I grew up on. I don't know. I mean, I kind of grew up in the middle between both of them. But it's like after you see Babyface and after you see Teddy Riley,

it's like you need something greater. Like those should have been. Wait a minute. What? These are legendary groups now. They are legendary groups. They are. But we don't know if this is a versus or not.

No, it's not a versus. It's not a versus. It's not a versus. Oh, okay. But it is going to be a good battle, and I think it'll be educational for people as well. I'm a three-six Mafia fan all day. For me, that's not even close.

I wasn't a Bone fan growing up. I respect Bone and everything that they've done. But I'm a three-six Mafia guy. Three-six Mafia, okay. When I respect Bone and everything that they've done. But I'm a 3-6 Mafia guy. 3-6 Mafia, okay? When I say weak ass, you say weak ass, weak ass. What you going to do when Suck It is something? Come on. They going to play the Bone and Biggie.

They got Bone and Pac. They got First of the Month. They got a lot of joints, too, now. Man, tear the club up. Suck It is something. What? Slob on my knob. Like corn on the cob. Man, tear the club up. Suck it. All right. Okay, guys. Slob on my knob,

like corn on the cob. I'm going to human resources. That's two things you just told me. You just invited me to your genitals. Hey. Then you got the crossroads. Like,

they got a lot of joints too. Stop, stop. I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love,

I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, I love, You guys should tune in. All right, now let's talk about Floyd Mayweather. Floyd Mayweather is still hurting from a lot of death that's surrounded him and his family recently, but he is going to be helping with coronavirus.

He's not going to tell you the amount of money that he's giving because he wants to keep that private, which you have every right to do. If you decide to donate, you do not have to be public about it. But here's what he had to say about just dealing with a lot lately. Because I've been dealing with a lot, you know, as far as dealing with the loss of the mother of my children and dealing with a great trainer, an uncle, a father figure, Roger Mayweather. I'm affected by this. With everything going on, I'm going to continue to do my part.

I don't have to show the world what I'm doing. And the money that I will be giving up will be to feed the people and help the people that don't have a lot. I will continue to give back and I will never talk about it. And I know that's something a lot of people have been talking about. You know, it is a lot that his children's mother passed away, Josie Harris, and having to deal with his uncle passing. And then, you know, his daughter going through a lot publicly. So I'm sure that is stressful for a person at this time. All right. Now let's talk about other people doing good things. Kim Kardashian has accepted that all in challenge that Michael

Rubin's been doing with a lot of celebrities. And what she is allowing is a chance to win lunch at a top spot in L.A. for a winner and a guest with the Kardashian sisters. You also get a one night hotel stay. Now this part I didn't like. Two round trip coach airfare tickets. It should be first class, I feel like, for the winner and the guest to be included. From Kim Kardashian coach? Yeah, I feel like it should be first class, guys.

I mean, if you're paying and you're, you know, bidding on this, and I'm sure it's going to be a lot of money. I'm going to be honest with you. It should be private. You got two billionaires in the family. Kim got a lot of money. Your husband's a billionaire. It should be private.

It should be an experience. But at least first class. It's not just for the U.S. You can enter from anywhere, right? I thought about private too, but let's say somebody wins from South Africa and you got to fly private from South Africa. And they got it.

It's all in challenge. Do something that people can't do. I'm not going to. They got it. It should have said two first-class domestic flights. Yeah, they could have said two first-class domestic flights. But if it's domestic, I agree with Charlamagne. They could fly private.

But I guess whoever wins this, right, whoever bids on this is probably so much money, I guess they can even fly themselves if they wanted to. But I feel like it's part of the experience, guys. But anyway, so that's the one-night host. There's the raffle ticket thing, though. Two-round trip coach airfare tickets. Nah, coaching ain't it.

And then you also are included in the filming of the upcoming season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. All right, now Dave Chappelle. And I want ringside seats to Kourtney and Kim's next fight. That's what I want. All right, Dave Chappelle haside seats to Kourtney and Kim's next fight. That's what I want. All right. Dave Chappelle has helped raise more than $100,000 for comedians who have been affected by COVID-19. He actually took part in this benefit, and that was the Comedy Store Family Fund. He was a surprise guest.

It was hosted by Neil Brennan. Donnell Rawlings was on there, Bill Burr, and a lot of other people as well. Now, why is Donnell on there when he knows he needs the money? Well, I guess he was performing. He was helping raise money for other people and performing. Donnell getting some of that money. All right, and last but not least, Jason Mitchell from Straight Outta Compton and, of course, from The Chi.

His recent arrest for drug and gun possession was a misunderstanding. We told you about this. There was ecstasy, marijuana, and guns in the vehicle, but he's saying that vehicle was a friend's rental car, so it wasn't his, basically. He better than me, because I'd have been saying that at the scene, okay? We know, we know. I learned my lesson a long time ago. I'm not going to jail for it. If that's somebody else's car, by the way, I wouldn't have gotten in the car. If they would have told me that they had guns

and drugs in the car, I wouldn't have gotten in. That's number one. I don't know that he knew. And if I didn't know, I've been in that situation before. I didn't know and something like that happened and I didn't say nothing and then when we got to the police station, the dude finally admitted it was his. No. If I didn't know and that happens,

I'm letting them know on the scene. That ain't my line, officer. Use the process of elimination. It's only two of us in this car. It's not mine. Well, thank you for that rumor report. Let me just tell you, Yee, the Kardashian story, you can enter for that sweepstakes for $10. That still don't mean

I don't deserve more than the coach flight? I didn't say that. I just said, because she said it was going to be a very expensive investment, but I'm like, for $10, you could get 10 entries. So, somebody might win it that somebody, for $10, you could get 10 entries. So, somebody might win it that just tries for $10. So,

good luck. You'll be flying coach. Yeah, you will be flying coach and it's only domestic flights, they say. Only domestic flights. So,

good luck. If you want more information. Did you just go bid on this, Envy? No, I just looked. I looked at the information. Okay.

Fanatics.com if you need all the information. All right. I just want to say one more thing that happened. I don't know if y'all would care aboutcom if you need all the information. All right. I just want to say one more thing that happened. I don't know if y'all would care about this because you don't watch 90 Day Fiancé. Oh, my goodness. We had interviewed Usman, a.k.a. Soulja Boy, from the show. And, you know, he's with Lisa, baby girl Lisa.

And she called me the C word. What do you mean? You know what the C word is? Yes. You can't say that over there, sir. She called who that? Me know what the C word is? Yes. You can't say that over there, sir. She called who that? Me. How did you take it?

She didn't like what he said about her in his interview, and I guess she said she feels like he was manipulated into saying things, and I don't know. That's not about right. That's your MO. That's a question he answered it. All right. Well, that is your rumor report.

I've never been called that before. It's just weird because who uses that word ever, period. He answered it. All right. Well, that is your rumor report. I've never been called that before. This is weird because who uses that word ever, period? Nobody says that. Yeah, because it's a very disrespectful word, so people just don't like to say it. And the only reason I thought of it just now, I was looking on Twitter, and somebody's name on here is the c*** conductor.

You can't say that word. I just want to tell you guys. You can't say that word. There's going to be a lot of bleeping. Can I say it's 4th and 10, so I think we better c***? That's punt, not c***. we better That's punt not You know Oh it is punt You know what

You guys are Alright When we come back We got the People's Choice mix Don't go anywhere It's the Breakfast Club Good morning Good morning everybody

It's DJ Envy Angela Yee Charlamagne Tha God We are the Breakfast Club Now shout out to Michael Rubin For the All In Challenge Now I'm looking online At some of the things that they're

giving away or some of the things that they are actually auctioning off. And they got a lot of dope things. Magic Johnson. You could play with Magic Johnson. Play a game of horse with Magic Johnson. That's pretty dope. He gotta let you win, though. No. He ain't gonna let you win.

I said, I think y'all got it covered. Yeah. You can get batting lessons from A-Rod. That's pretty dope. And we were talking about the Drake one that you could get.

You get to fly on his private jet, Air Drake. You get to party with him in L.A. And then you get to go to his show and hang out with him also. This is why Drake is better. This is why Drake in this current moment is better than Kanye. Because Kanye family is putting you on two commercial flights, two coach flights. Drake letting you fly on the private jet. See the difference?

And they both in entries are only $10, both of them. So same difference. Look at this. You could get a walk-on role in a Martin Scorsese film with Leonardo DiCaprio and Robert De Niro. That's dope. That's dope. You're going to be a waiter. You're going to be a waiter.

Whatever. That's a big deal still. For $10? They're going to have you walking in waiting on them two white men. That is... They got a lot of good dope stuff. They got some dope stuff You can go to St. Bart's

And go to Eden And stay at Eden Rock By the way Where all the money going? Coronavirus relief Different charity foundations Oh okay So they have a few

Different charities Yeah I would love to do something For the healthcare workers man Like I feel like We all We're all thanking These healthcare workers And we're all saluting These healthcare workers But I don't feel like That's enough I feel like we all, we're all thanking these healthcare workers and we're all saluting these

healthcare workers, but I don't feel like that's enough. I feel like, I don't know what we should be doing. I don't know if we should be pressing the government to give them more money in the future. I don't know if we should be tipping them. I don't know what it is,

but I just feel like something has to be done for healthcare workers in a real meaningful way. Meaningful life changing way for them. Cause they're changing so many people's lives. I just feel like something, I don't know what that would be. Yeah, I'm thinking about some things too. They're talking about hazard pay already.

Different things for healthcare workers, cribs and homes. Just try to make their lives a lot easier. I mean, their lives have been tough for the last eight to ten weeks. So just to make it a little easier for them. Dramos, I know you're a huge Dennis Rodman fan. There's a riding style with Dennis Rodman in Miami. The bid starts at

$5,000. One lucky fan, he's going to take you on a Lamborghini Hyperboat. Then you go to lunch with him in Miami, ride in one of his Lamborghinis, then go party with him. I think that's something he should do.

Dramos would rather do the style and ride, meaning he wants playing bikinis, then go party with him. I think that's something that you should do. Drum would rather do the style and ride, meaning he wants to get styled by Dennis Rodman and then ridden by Dennis Rodman. And listen, if I hang out with Carmen Electra, I don't care what he styles me like. Oh. Wow. Can he ride you too?

All right, you know what? Goodbye. Style and ride, Drum. You got the ride part. I haven't said anything. All right, well, when we come back, we got the positive note. Don't move. It's the Breakfast part. I haven't said anything. All right. Well, when we come back, we got the positive note. Don't move.

It's the Breakfast Club. Good morning. Morning, everybody. It's DJ Envy, Angela Yee, Charlamagne Tha Guy. We are the Breakfast Club. Now, shout out to Michael Arsenault for joining us today. Yes, that's my guy. I love Michael.

I love Michael Arsenault. And you got to read his book, I Don't Want to Die Poor. I saw some people were being, like, critical of the title of the book. But you have to read his book, I Don't Want to Die Poor. I saw some people were being like critical of the title of the book, but you have to read it to understand it because he was talking about just being like saddled with all this student loan debt that he's still dealing with and a lot of people can relate to that. And it's a fear.

No, also, poor don't have to mean financial. When you say you don't want to die poor, man, you might not want to die in poor mental health. You might not want to die in poor emotional health, poor spiritual health. You know what I'm saying? Like you might want to be rich in all of those areas. It would suck to die, you know, as a piss poor person, unhappy, you know, with your life, unhappy because, you know, you're depressed, unhappy because, you know, you put out a lot of negative energy and negative energy came back to you. Like, you know, it's a lot of different ways to die poor. It's not just financial.

Well, he was definitely talking about his student loans in the book because this is a lot of struggles that his life has kind of been going through because of that. But, you know, I think that finances can be stressful for you, which can lead to mental health issues, which can lead to health issues and lead to a lot of different things. And you also want to leave something right behind, you know. Maybe.

I know you can't take it with you. So I can understand why people would be upset, you know, leave some type of legacy. I know you can't take it with you, so I can understand why people would be upset, you know, with that. With just saying, you know, I don't want to die poor financially. I think, like, I got life insurance so that if something, God forbid, happens to me, the people around me don't have to worry about

paying for my funeral and worrying about finances and somebody's going to have to pay for things if I'm not here, so I just want to make sure that no one else has to have the stress from finances that I might've had in my lifetime. So that's always something that I've been concerned about also. All right. I'm still looking at this all in challenge, man. You know what I want to bid on? You could direct a movie with Jonah Hill. David Blaine. He's doing a magic show, a private magic show and lesson. He's going to teach you some of his tricks.

How dope is that? You guys are not into magic, huh? No, yeah. We want to see you do some, turn some tricks. You know what? Forget y'all. Leave us on a positive note, Charlamagne. Show us how you made that nine and a half inch dildo disappear back here.

You're a c**t. give us a positive note man listen the positive note comes from don miguel ruiz i love don miguel ruiz um you know we're still on quarantine so you can take this time to go read the four agreements or the fifth agreement or the mastery of love uh the mastery of self but But Don Miguel Ruiz says, you don't need to know how to love yourself. You need to unlearn all of the reasons why you reject yourself. And by nature, you love yourself.
